Seems like we're all eager to have another SFGT Pro-Am and to get a chance to redeem ourselves :) So here it is...

Tell us where you will play, when, with whom, why, how many beers you'll have, what's the secret of your success, if you'll be playing as a Pro or an Am and all those good things. You can also post your score here when you're done!

This Pro-Am is organized by the world famous SFGT, details here: http://www.ushandicap.com/groups/group.asp?id=3112842

And the results are in.... Congratulations to RickAhlert and Duckhunter for lowest gross and lowest net (overall and amateur) and congratulations to Kirker for being the pro champion with both lowest gross and net results!

 

And the players' choice champion is... I mean, are... PowerFlexGolf and Sylla (that would be me)!! Thank you, thank you :) As you can see, many players got at least one vote!

Here are the comments:

Badgolfergreg: Because he made a courageous decision after his round. He abandonned the glamorous lives of the pros, the racing cars, the parties on the beach until dawn with golf babes, and the thick carpetting of the pros locker room. He went back to the amateurs to work on his game. Bobby Jones would be proud.

Goynes42: He is a great guy,that seems to enjoy helping others learn as much as anything.

Wink: Good card, but better Camillio! Go Spider Wink!

golfdude528: Major meltdown round...10 penalties, he hit only one GIR, 4 FIR yet, when he FINALLY got a ball on the green, he made the putts with 7 one putts and no 3 putts for a total of 29 putts! But with a 13.8 handicap and a course handicap of 16, we have witnessed a meltdown of Biblical proportions! He made a whopping 103 swipes at the ball and that with 4 pars. He's bound to be curled up in the fetal position in some dark corner, sucking his thumb and whimpering, and will probably only appear in public with dark glasses and a big floppy hat covering his face. This has got to be put in the record book as the SFGT all-time melt down!
But the short answer is, I felt bad for him...

Pete-L: Alway their if you need help.

Sylla:

  • Because she's Canadian and can get me some nice Canadian bacon.
  • She puts a lot of work into these things

PowerFlexGolf:

  • second place pro! no prizes yet this week so i vote powerflex to get something out of his nice round!
  • Because lucky us - he posted a score 7 shots better 3 days after his tournament round. Would have been at the top again...hmmmm...makes you wonder.
    If I could vote myself I would - after losing 2 balls plugged in the fairway and having another stop in a rain runoff rut in a bunker it was a sad sad day. Even if those were not penalties, it was still brutal.
  • Because he has cheesecake in the pro locker room

RickAhlert: he played a great round but come up just short of winning. wish my scorecard could look like that

phifedawg:

  • Had a good round and just came up a litlle short.
  • Phifedawg was the last one to post his score. He must of been shy

busdriver: seems like he is on the verge of really improving but no matter what he is always positive and finds the positive in everyone else

bradley894: 13 is my lucky number!!

 

NEWS UPDATE - May 1st - And the players'choice champion is...

Both players worked really hard to gain the favour of their fellow players. Sylla was spotted distributing Canadian bacon to everyone and Shingo tried to stuff ballots into the voting box... PowerFlex put up a valliant fight, but in the end, Sylla prevailed :)

Thank you so much, everyone!! Your support is wonderful :) Thank you, thank you!!

congrats to the winners! sorry I haven't had a chance to send my hard earned cash to you yet, but with my niece undergoing brain surgery to remove a tumor last Thursday, my daughter being born last Friday, and now today finding out a very close family friend just passed away from cancer, it didn't make it to the top of my to-do list. I will do my best to send it in tomorrow. Since I haven't had a chance to keep up with who won and stuff, can someone please give me a quick summary of who won? To me, it looks like Rick, duck and Sylla... I just want to make sure.riday, and now today finding out a very close family friend just passed away from cancer, it didn't make it to the top of my to-do list.

Who won the tie for players' choice, Sylla or PowerFlex? I need to know who to send this sack of money to!

Sylla 4/27/2009 11:00:42 AM
When there's a tie, the lowest handicap wins, so congrats to Powerflex! We now need your address to send your $1 :)

Ok, last call for the champions' choice player, no I mean the players' choice champion survey thingy! If you haven't voted yet, rush to your email, click on that link now, close your eyes and pick one! Right now, two players are tied for the lead. You wouldn't want a mud wrestling sudden death playoff to decide the winner, would you? ;)! Right now, two players are tied for the lead.

that is a great looking chart, thanks for all the hard work. I may not be really good at golf, but I sure enjoy the game and all the friends I have on tour. Oh yes, I was able to go to work after my Camillo Imitation with no ER time logged, but I did sleep in my sleep number bed that night!! I know for you young gals and guys on tour with us, you might think that us old farts cannot have fun and try something new. One thing that we have on our experienced side is: we don't get embarrassed, we just laugh our ass off and are willing to try anything at least once!!
